Here is the link to my mom's plant tour at my grandma's house video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gBzcpOAgpM0.htmlsi=7Cb4kd5QH8Jq41yX
This video is exactly why you were my first and still current favorite plant youtuber. Even when you talk about the hard stuff it never comes off as dramatic or overproduced, just being a person in front of the camera including all of the ups and downs. Like, I think a lot of us are processing our sadness and memories and emotions while repotting our plants lol, so thank you for keeping it real. And you're so right about how extra-good it feels to simply listen to music or go to the gym after you've been depressed for a while
I wasn’t prepared to cry with you today, but happy to be with you through it! I lost my grandmother last December, I get the grief coming in waves! I’m glad you’re honoring your own process!
I'm honestly so impressed by this plant because of how tall it is! I've never seen one that tall and lush. It's amazing how well your grandma took care of it and how sweet it is that you've taken over it for her ❤
The way you did this video was perfect. It was not weird to listen to or see your genuine raw emotions at all. Your grandmother seems like she was a wonderful person, and the plant looks beautiful, I'm sure she would approve. Thank you for sharing this moment.🩷🌿
Ugh, I came here to learn how to pot my begonia and I left crying and feeling so grateful to still have my grandma. She also gave me my first polka dot begonia and I plan to keep it thriving for many years to pass a long to everyone as a piece of her. Thank you for sharing.💛
I love that you loved your grandma so much. I was very close to my grandma too. She’s a lot of the reason that I love plants. I have one of every plant that I remember her keeping. Being emotional about it is a wonderful gift.
I think your Grandma would have been very touched by this video and how much you love her begonia 🤍 thank you for sharing such a personal moment of your life.
My grandma passed away very unexpectedly about 2 years ago now and taking her plants was the reason I got so into them. Caring for plants makes me feel so close to her and miss her all at the same time. I feel your joy and your pain! How lucky we were to have such a beautiful relationship! I love your channel 🫶
Please don't apologize for being emotional. You're not a robot acting out things for our entertainment, you're a real person with real feelings and emotions, and this plant has a lot of memories attached to it. I might not comment very often and I might be newer to your channel, but I think I'm right when I say that we're here for you as much as for the plants. I'm glad you have your grandma's plant and that she gets to live on with you.
Awwww, I know the feeling Harli. You have my deepest condolences 💐. My grandma passed away in 2019 and I still cry my eyes out whenever I think of her. It’s hard but I know she wouldn’t want me feeling sad. Think of happy moments. Sending you a virtual hug 🫂.
Sweet Harli❤️ I’m sure your grandma trusted you to do what you thought was best for the plant, and that she’s very happy to have you take care of it. You definitly do it with love, and there’s no better way. It’s not oversharing and it’s not «too much». It’s only been a few months, and for a very special person in your life. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Harli, I've been watching your channel for years. I came for the plants, and stayed because of how genuine you are. I lost both of my grandparents within 6 months of each other around 5 years ago, it was a really difficult time and I still get emotional when I talk about them. Your video is not an over share at all, you are human and sharing your humanity and life with us is one of the reasons we love your channel!
❤I’m crying with you as you repot. The pain of loosing a dear grandmother is like no other. It’s so special that you and your grandma shared the love for plants. Sending you hugs!
Harli, thank you for entrusting us with such vulnerability. I love watching you because of your authenticity, I hope you know your emotions are safe with us. Grieving is no joke, and I hope each passing day gets easier for you. My grandma is also a plant lover, who is now 81, and I can't imagine losing her. Thank you for the reminder to hold her close and cherish the beautiful hobby passed down to me too.
That is not weird at all. I think of my grandmother putting that little plant in a pot and just stirring the soil a little. I got my love for plants from my grandmother too. 😊
We love and care for you, Harli. Don't ever feel like something is too much to share if you're trying to process your thoughts and feelings like that. In that period of time when you weren't posting so much, I was truly worried about you. I'm sure others feel the same.
The light hearted moment when you talk about your favorite singers and the chickens started calling it was like they were saying Ummm what about us?? We don’t make the list? Made me giggle. This video was sweet and a reminder that remembering our loved ones can be so emotional but also so healing.
That ‘everything is fake’ feeling is called dissociation. It usually occurs with depression or grief as the brain’s way to compartmentalize emotions. It’s also very hard to accept a world without a loved one in it, esp if it’s sudden, so maybe it’s easier for our brains to pretend it’s fake until we can absorb the reality. It is a normal part of grief and I know lots of people understand what you’re going through ❤
I’m a grandma with over 100 plants. I always wonder what will happen to them. Your Grandma would love what you’ve done and how much you care for her plant. It looks beautiful!
Oh Harli ❤ This was such a heartfelt way to pay tribute to your grandma's memory and the bond you had. Thank you for sharing your heart with us and being so vulnerable. I do completely understand what you mean by the feeling of everything being "fake", and I'm so glad that you feel your personality and love of the small joys in life coming back. Your grandma's begonia looks lovely in the new pot and location ❤ Sending you all the love and comfort I have.
Girl I teared up too, I always love how authentic/open you are with your emotions. It’s so helpful to see. Glad to hear you doing thinks for yourself ant to see how much you enjoy this plant^^
You are absolutely entitled to feel all the feels. Life is way too short and there is nothing wrong with working through your emotions. We are here because we love you and support you. I can say I sobbed along with you and I am so sorry for your loss.
Sweet Harli G, it's okay to feel your emotions about your Grandmother! She is taking care of you and that beautiful plant!! Much love to you and please keep us posted on your progress with your plant. PS, I got my love of plants from my Mom, and she from hers and so on. Both my Mom and Grand have gone to Heaven, so I can relate to your feelings. 💌💌💌
Please never apologize for having emotions! It's totally fine and I honestly appreciate how open and honest you are. I agree with some of the other people to save the basket once it's clean, and line it to put a different plant in.
Lord, Harli, I've been crying for the past 2 months. I lost my dad, 2 sister- in- laws, niece, (my baby brother, and mom 5 weeks) apart. You never know when those feelings will hit. It shows they were loved and are remembered. Do not apologize. It's part of life, I for one feel your loss.
It's called depression and grief my dear! I lost my Dad last year so I totally get it. I would line that basket with plastic, chop the top of the begonia and then pot it up in there too. More grandma for you! Take care of yourself❤
You are precious! You don’t need to apologize for being tearful about missing your grama. You’re very courageous to be vulnerable with us. Life is fleeting. Thank you for sharing this repot with us! 🙏💞🪴
Your Grandma is cheering you on Harli. I'm sure that she is proud of you taking care of her beautiful begonia! I felt the same way with a lot my husbands things after he passed away. And there are things that as they were before he passed. I talk about Joe all the time and I encourage others to feel free to share memories of him all the time. It's been 8 years since he passed and he is still my favorite topic. I think I might speak for everyone else but I feel honored that you are sharing your life and feelings with us. You are loved! Be well, be happy, be blessed. - Lois
Hi Harli 💫 Sending a Big ole internet hug your way. I just now you keep your Grandma smiling down on you with your love, your humor, and your awesome personality. May you watch that beautiful plant continue to size up and reach towards the Heavens. Have a wonderful weekend. 🙏🏻💫🥰
The love you have for your grandmother is so beautiful. I didn't know my dad's mother because she passed away before I was born, and my mom's mother is very cold and judgemental and barely talks to me. So hearing how much you love your grandmother kind of feels like I can live vicariously through you 💕
Also, I am 100% invested in this plant. If you do ANYTHING to it, I think it's safe to say - we wanna know! Cuttings, trellis, air layering, any and all updates, honestly. I loved the montage at the end ❤
Harli, it is so not weird. I’m sending you so much love and crying along side you. It’s so special that your grandma loved plants and you inherited her begonia in the cute lil basket. She will always be with you guys. I’m so sorry you lost her suddenly/unexpectedly. My gramma raised me and I lost her unexpectedly when I was only 22 :( I kept her plants and they mean so much to me. Huge hugs 💖
My grandma has been gone a few years now and my sister played me a voicemail she has from her, and it made me burst into tears. So you never know what's going to get you and it could be YEARS down the line. But so happy to have heard her voice again ❤ grandmas are special
Aw... I miss my grandma too. It's so tough to lose loved ones but amazing how much joy it gives us to appreciate everyday things that remind us of them. ❤
Thank you for sharing this moment with you!!! My mom died 7/7/23 it was unexpected!!! Deep breath you can do this your grandma is there with you!!! She will Always be in your heart!!!
Oh, Harli! I cried with you. I spent almost everyday of my childhood with my grandma and lost her in my teens. She had me in the garden as a toddler. I miss her so much. I think this is a beautiful tribute to your grandma. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for being open Harli!!!! you really do have a great support group, (family, friends...not us strangers on the web) made me cry. I am a near 70's male and you made me really hope my grandkids think of me the way that you do. DON'T bitch about the rooster, we do have a purpose!
Hi Harli. It’s totally normal to grieve for someone that meant so much to you,your grandma was a special lady,so her plant is very sentimental and has many memories attached to it! My 35 year old died suddenly in 2020 and he had a Monstera Adonsonii, my other son took it to his house and took special care of it,than he propagated cuttings to pass down to us,siblings and his nephew and niece that was born after my sons death. It’s one of the most treasured plants that we have,because it has sentimental value! I was going to suggest taking a top cutting and putting into a nursery pot and put it back into her basket after you get rid of the mold.I love that basket! Maybe even grow some cuttings to pass down to your boys! Many hugs to you! Never apologize for your tears! Let them roll,there’s healing in sharing your grief and crying! Natalie ❤️❤️🫂🫂
Having just lost my fiancé in March, I have some idea of the pain you are in. Bravo to you for being real and raw. I know that I appreciate your honestly and showing vulnerability to all of us. Please know that your followers support you. XOXO Save the basket plant another plant in it so she will be with you still.
I am drinking my coffee and crying with you😢 I can feel how much you loved your grandmother 🤍 That plant is GORGEOUS, I’m not a begonia girly but it makes me want one
me over here crying watching this on my lunch break 🥹 you are such a sweet soul and thank you for sharing this!!!! i am a ball of emotion too when it comes to my grandparents who have passed and there’s nothing wrong with it!!! i’m grateful to have been blessed with people who i miss so much
I miss my grandmother so much also she was the pilar of the house since she passed all my family dont talk another moved far away 😭😭gradmother are the best ❤❤❤❤
Oh honey don’t worry about the emotional video. We have all lost someone who we feel emotional about. My oldest plant, a golden pothos, was one I got from my daddy’s funeral in May 2010. I am sending, love, hugs, and prayers for you sweet lady.
I felt all those same emotions while repotting my dad's plants. He was so planty and I didn't get into the hobby until I took his plants after he passed. I so wish we could have shared that together. I'm glad you uploaded this because I'm sure many of us can relate. Here's to a healthy and happy plant!
Ur Grandma is watching over & guiding u, I think we all need 2 remember & truly feel the emotions that those memories bring. Love of family is complex but special & shouldn't b packed away like old clothes. 🤎 2 u always❣
Harli. I too lost my grandfather very unexpectedly last February. Anytime I see you getting emotional about your grandmother, I realize my feelings are completely valid for struggling with my grandfathers passing. Which has wounded me deeply. You aren’t alone ❤️ love you.
I watched this as soon as you posted it and cried right along with you but had to step away before commenting. Those of us fortunate enough to have so many childhood/adulthood memories tightly intertwined with our grandparents are beyond blessed. It's an indescribable hurt to lose one. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. I love the plant and new pot together btw.
The last thing i expected to do while watching a planty video is start crying, BUT, i am also someone who can't talk about sad or emotional things without crying. So i hold everything in, which has been nothing but detrimental to me, but it's the only coping mechanism I've ever known. So to see you so sweet and sad and emotional and vulnerable made me just want to hug you, but also made me wish someone would hug me and let me cry. Your videos are my favorite and i think I've said this before ( so i hope it doesn't come across creepy) but i absolutely adore you. I'm happy to hear that you're starting to feel like your old happy self again, that's such a good feeling. 😊
Plants have such a beautiful potential to mean so much. My mil always remembered her grandma's blooming hoyas so i always share hoyas with her, they mean so much for just being houseplants
I know what you mean about wanting to feel like people know how you feel but not wishing they had to go through this to relate. I lost my Grandma in July 2022 and then my older brother in November 2022 and then my black lab that I raised from a puppy this last June. Hardest year of my life and I felt a sense of connection almost from watching this video
Oh, Harli, this was such a lovely memorial to your beloved grandmother! We all experience grief in our own way, and caring for and nurturing your grandma's plant is such a beautiful tribute to her life and memory. I lost both my parents in the past 3 years, so I have been going through my own grieving process. Thank you for sharing yours with us. Sending love and light your way
When you talked about knowing your personality was starting come back when you started to love music again, it really hit home for me. My uncle passed away 10 months ago, I didn’t sing in the car for months (I always sing in the car for reference 😂). One day, I actually felt like singing again and that was the start for me! It’s still very painful, but I know he would have wanted me to enjoy my car rides!
Thank you for the vulnerability in this video Harley ❤ my grandma passed away 3 weeks ago and it's been rough. I inherited all of her unfinished crochet/sewing projects and I bawl every time I try to finish them. Big hugs to you!!
I do understand you so much, Harli. In past years I lost so many loved one, but these past 3 years where the most difficult. First I lost my very close grandpa, then next year as unexpectedly as my grandpa I lost my dad. Very very sudden. I thought I was coping, but I wasnt. This year I lost my first dog Rocky, my baby boy I miss daily. I never felt so much pain. But slowly am trying to get back on track. Im proud for you filming and uploading this video. It helped to go through my own feelings and most importantly it made me feel closer to you more than ever. Sending big hug your way.
I know it is so hard to lose someone close. I lost my mom at 15. I appreciate that you always keep it real. And we all need a good cry here and there. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your grandma is looking down and smiling .So cool that you have something of hers to care for, grow, and love. ❤
Oh Harli, of course you’re emotional! What a lovely treasure! You can still use the basket, I have many basket planters. Just get one of those funky plastic drip holder saucers and stick it in there. Then put any plant you like inside. Your granny is watching over you and would be so proud to see her passion carry on in you. We are here if you need us.
Hardi, my plant friend I cried with you through this video. I have a plant that was my grandmother’s and I think of her each time I see it. I feel for you. Hang in there.xxoo
It's nice to see someone else grieve and do it so openly. I've delt with a a lot of death in the last 7 years... I'm so glad you're letting yourself feel. When my dad passed I got emotionally attached to a bag of chili he made that was in the freezer. 😂 It took me a year to finally eat it! Anytime I tried before that I cried like a big baby... Grief is weird
Oh I’m so sorry you’ve been going through that. I hope you’re doing okay ❤️ Aww I totally feel you! I got attached to some tootsie pop suckers my grandma gave to us & when I ate the last one I cried the whole time. Probably looked so stupid with a sucker hanging out of my puffy face 😂 it is the weirdest. Especially how it’ll be “fine” & randomly a scream cry has to come out out of nowhere. We just have to be gentle with ourselves
So…I already feel like your my friend. You’ve been a light. My grandma passed two years before my mom died almost 6 years ago. I love you! I’m sorry you are going through this.
Hi Harli. Thank you for sharing this special moment with us. It is truly a blessing to have this moment captured and I'm sure your grandma is happy that you are taking good care of her plant. I'm a firm believer that music soothes the soul and it helped you find yourself again. Always remember she will always be with you in spirit. Stay blessed! 💚🙏
Oh Harli thank you for sharing this intimate moment. I also lost my grandma unexpectedly in April. As her oldest granddaughter to come after having all boys, the connection was truly indescribable. We shared our love for cross stitching, plants, butterflies and birds. I also struggled heavily with her loss and have slowly found my way back to being better 🤍 you are not alone in your grief. The pain you feel is truly a result of love. Now we have the sweetest guardian angels on our side.
Grandma’s are the most special people ever and you paid tribute to her in this video. Maybe a stake for the begonia if you’re afraid of it snapping? Thank you for being real!
I'm sorry for your loss Harli. Thank you for being so real. It's not weird at all. I was just thinking you could start a cutting from her plant after you repot and plant the new cutting into her basket where you could display it in another place in your home. Maybe place a picture of her with you and or your kids . It could signify a new beginning.
I almost lost it at the little tribute at the end ❤ thank you for sharing these raw emotions with us, I can’t imagine how hard this would be. So many emotions, no wonder why you put it off for so long! I’m so happy it’s up where you can see it everyday and enjoy it. It will bring you so much joy now! It is perfect in that planter and in that spot! I saw a video somewhere of a guy that has the same begonia and he let the canes grow up to the ceiling and just kept pinning it up, similar to what people do with pothos/ philodendrons attaching to the wall, you just have to actually pin it up the whole way lol I think it looked really cool and might be something you’d be interested in! We love you Harli! ❤
Omg girl I’m sitting here crying right along with you. My great grandma died the day after my birthday a couple years ago and I have so many things in my home that were hers and remind me of her. I go through the same flood of emotions when I use them. Hugs. 🫶🏻
I'm out 2:30 into this but YOU ARE SO BRAVE AND LOVING to be open and share your feelings while taking care of your grandmother's plant. It means a lot to me, personally. . . A few years ago my grandmother unexpectedly passed and four months later my mother passed away as well. They were both amazing gardeners, epic really. My brother and I have some of their lilies potted up at both our homes. Having them means so much to me. Having them, caring for them, it's a mix of love, contentment, grief, sometimes anger, peace... a whole host of other emotions. I appreciate this video so much already. You're wonderful, strong, loving. I know your grandmother is absolutely thrilled about this video and all the care and love you're giving her gorgeous begonia. ❤❤❤
I cried right along with you. Both for you missing your grandma, and me missing mine. I am a hugely sentimental person and totally get every emotion you're going through. Lots of love to you, Harli.
This was a really difficult video to watch, as well as I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I'm so sorry about your grandma, I lost my grandma last year. I actually lost two of my grandmas in a span of a month. But one was a lot harder than the other one. I love that all generations in your family loved plants and I love this begonia. Begonia maculata is one of my favourite plants and this specimen is really something special. Your grandma did an amazing job growing it and now you will have a chance to do the same. I hope the basket from this plant will home some other plant and still bring happy memories to you
This was very therapeutic and it was great. Real stuff happens in life and it's nice to see u feeling comfortable enough with us to share it. Also just a thought you could use a clear command clip to hold the top of the plant up against the fire place if you are scared of it snapping👍
Yanno, I absolutely love you, so much so that when your video started my hubby said, "Harli G!" and we chatted for a sec and I realized as we talked ... I told him, I love her! I have nothing but plants in common with her, Like, in real life, I'd be friends with her and not know why because we're so different, but shes the kind of person, so sweet and adorable and vulnerable, that you just WANT to be friends with her.
I am emotional right along with you ❤ I have my Oma’s begonia and her Christmas cactus.. I do everything to keep these plants alive 💚I totally get it.. I lived with my Oma.. she was the only one who wanted me.. but I have lost a lot of family in a short time so it’s just another ache that becomes part of who I am..
I totally understand your emotions. Postpartum depression can become full blown, especially after experiencing as many losses as you have. Now you have a beautiful reminder of your grandmother to care for and share with your family. PS- I hope your chickens are alright. We heard the hawk!
I totally get the emotions I’ve lost basically everyone in my family mom, dad, brothers, cousins, etc. I kept the flower arrangement of flowers from my mom‘s funeral, and had a rough move and lost everything. It was very emotional. Also a beautiful process of strength and growth ♥️ My thoughts and prayers are with you in this beautiful healing journey 🙏
She is looking gorgeous Harli! Thank you for sharing this with us ❤ I moved to another country and so I don't see my family often. Last time I saw them I took cuttings of my grandma's giant Hoya Carnosa. I remember the plant since I was little. My grandma is still alive, but I am so happy I have a piece of her all the way here. ❤
I’m crying watching this! I have to repot two of my late grandmother’s plants today and I can completely relate to the array of emotions you’re feeling. You’ve always been one of my favorite RU-vidrs even when I’m going through phases where I want nothing to do with my plants. Thank you for sharing with us ♥️
I’m so sorry, Harley. I understand all of those emotions mixed in with grief-I lost my grandpa in September 2021 then my dad unexpectedly from a heartache in April 2022. It is so damn hard managing all of those emotions but it’s human and nothing to apologize for. I find this video so special and I appreciate you being vulnerable while also doing something you love to do. You are the best planty lady on the tube.
this one really was an emotional one for me i cried the whole video because ii too lost my grandmother who loved plants and she had a great green thumb ppl say i inherited her love for plants and also her green thumb unfortunately i didnt get to get any of her plants when she passed. so u are very lucky to have gotten one of your grandmothers plants i would name the plant after her . HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY 🪴💕💚
Love you Harli! I was crying with you girl! It's a beautiful thing to pass down through your family! Love your passion for plants and you have personally been inspiration to me!
So Sorry for Your Loss Harli; My Sincere Condolences.I Lost My Dad the end of 2021; and I know how much it hurts. We're All Praying for You and Rooting for You; no pun intended.✴️
